The funny thing is, while advertising all of that, they're not providing free SMTP service that actually allow you to send properly GPG encrypted emails to protect your privacy.

So for me, ProtonMail is basically a web email service, a nice web email service to be completely fair, but without perks. I will never call them an "encrypted email" service.

Yes, they make registering burner addresses a breeze for potentially spammy sites, but thats basically their only USP for me.
I don't understand this part. ProtonMail does not offer a burner address service. Are you referring to the ability to create aliases on a ProtonMail account? If you are, that's possible with most other hosts too.

A proper burner address service would be SimpleLogin or Anonaddy.
